Ted Lasso - Série 2

Season 2 was somewhat different from the first season. While the first one was about soccer with occasional relationship matters, the second one was more of a romance set in a soccer environment. I'm fine with that because I love soccer about as much as I love broccoli. I enjoyed the series on the whole, except for a few issues. What disappointed me were episodes three and nine, especially the latter one seemed as if the writer was high on something. Apart from Ted and Roy, I would highlight the two main female characters. Juno Temple is always great to look at and listen to. I especially liked the Christmas episode, which was filled with clichés and cheesiness (because, well, it's Christmas!) but it was hilarious, and I had a good laugh without feeling retarded. So, to sum it up, the second season may have been weaker than its predecessor, but I still had a great time, and I won't give it less than four stars. / Lesson learned: Not a fan of soccer? With Ted Lasso, you don’t have to worry about it. (02/18/2022)

Like yeah, nice, character development, serious themes, depression, healing our pains, a shift in ambition from the first series. But fuck it, this is not what I want from Ted Lasso! The first series won me over precisely because each episode was such a nice blast of good mood; it was sweet, it was funny, it was unpretentious - something the second series achieves only in part.

I must say that I enjoyed the second series of Ted Lasso a tiny bit more than the first series. There are some episodes that are not only excellent, but also reference such a Christmas legend as Love Actually. After a long time, I found myself looking forward to something comedic and relaxing on Fridays, which somehow pleasantly softens my entry into the weekend. The theme is still the same and it is still being handled in the right direction. I have also gotten used to the characters, although some are very difficult to get used to (such as the typical Brit Juno Temple). There are also quite decent football situations that are entertaining, but also moving, and they delve more into the psychology of some characters. I added the fifth star for the series of entertaining moments with Roy in the football studio before the match and for the episode with Beard. That was really something. The central character - Ted Lasso - played by Jason Sudeikis, is much closer to me after the second series than after the first series, and I can't wait for the third series now. (10/14/2021)
